Exploring the Universeby Howie Good

Do I believe the Earthis shaped like a Frisbee?I believe it is.Do I know for sure?No.

I’m not a robot.I’m just a guy looking around.It’ll kill you.It’ll scald you to death.It’ll blow the skinand muscle off your bones.I’ll feel it in the morning.

At least I can go homeand have dinnerand see my cats tonight.
